There are 506 miles of county roadways that are maintained on a day to day basis as well as emergency repair. The Division of Roads and Bridges (formerly, the Highway Department) must repair and correct any hazard or complaints that affect the road system, such as drainage, road repair, mowing and snow removal.
Weather conditions such as tornadoes, wind shears, and severe flooding have necessitated immediate and sometimes long term response for damages to county roads, facilities and appurtenances.
All our road personnel are Public Works First Responders trained to recognize and respond appropriately to emergencies and hazards found along the roadways.
